I never cared but for one thing, and that is, simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment, this day doing the things God requires of my hands, and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be, I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.

The Lord created you and me for the purpose of becoming Gods like himself.

I wanted to thunder and roar out the Gospel to all nations. It burned in my bones like fire pent up... Nothing would satisfy me but to cry abroad in the world, what the Lord was doing in the latter days.

We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do.

I shall not cease learning while I live, nor when I arrive in the spirit-world… and when I again receive my body, I shall …still continue my researches

It's better to die doing good than to live doing evil.

Pray as if all depended on God and work as if all depended upon you.
